Zimt Kaffee

With more than 200 million inhabitants and a total area of around 8 million km²,
Brazil is the largest country in South America. Alongside soybeans, sugarcane, steel, aluminum, and other goods, coffee is one of the country's most important exports.
Brazil is the world's largest coffee producer, ahead of countries such as Colombia and Indonesia. Arabica beans are grown primarily in Brazil, with only a small share of around 20% devoted to Robusta. Fazenda Lagoa lies in the heart of Minas Gerais, nestled among rolling hills, lakes, and fertile farmland. The great-grandfather of current owner Marcelo Vieira established his first plantation here, at an elevation of 950 to 1,200 m. The original farmhouse still stands today! Fazenda Lagoa spans 300 hectares of farmland and is surrounded by 600 hectares of protected natural forest, home to hundreds of bird species. Ornithologists from around the world come each year to observe the rarest birds! The ecological conditions and traditional cultivation methods, unchanged for more than 100 years, are the reason for the
successful coffee cultivation. The high elevation for Brazil and the climate—with distinct seasons—result in a harmonious, very mild acidity. The careful harvest and natural processing of Fazenda Lagoa coffee bring out an exquisite, delicate chocolate note. Strict, ongoing quality control throughout the ripening period and processing, along with careful selection of the finest lots, yield a small but exceptionally high-quality crop.
